There is nothing conservative about the war in Afghanistan. The Center for Defense Information said a few months ago that we had spent over $400 billion on the war and war-related costs there. Now, the Pentagon says it will cost about $1 [...]
It remains a sleeper campaign.
In October, the Newnan newspaper dutifully reported Eric Johnson’s talk to the local Rotary Club.
That’s about as much notice the Savannah candidate for governor has received since he resigned from the state Senate on Sept. 15.
Johnson, the former Senate president pro tem, is running a [...]
Glad they could get together and talk across the aisle, so to speak, about this.
Republican State Superintendent of Schools Kathy Cox and state Rep. Alisha Thomas Morgan (D-Austell) come from opposite sides of the political spectrum, but both agree that teacher quality needs improvement in Georgia.
I remain amazed [...]

I think Kasim Reed wins tomorrow in Atlanta. He’s got Roy Barnes’s support, a black community that doesn’t want to lose the Mayor’s Office, Shirley Franklin, etc.
Also, in my neck of the woods, i am leaning toward saying Shaheen wins in Warner Robins, but I am less sure of that [...]

A funny thing happened in Georgia after state lawmakers in 2008 required local governments to add an extra second of yellow light on traffic signals using cameras to catch drivers running red lights.
The number of camera-initiated tickets plummeted. So did enforcement revenues. As a result, some towns [...]
So reports the Athens Banner-Herald.

That [...]
